The pursuit of perfection
continued unchecked today as the Indianapolis Colts brushed aside the
Jacksonville Jaguars 26-18 in a sold-out Alltel Stadium.

It's a trend. The quick-striking
Colts haven't trailed since the third quarter of their 45-28 win over
St. Louis on Oct. 17. That's a span of seven-plus games -- 438
minutes, 16 seconds.

The Colts offense scored on their
opening drive with an impressive show of versatility. And they just
kept coming, chipping away at the Jaguars defense with touchdowns or
field goals. They didn't commit a single turnover, punted just three
times and turned the ball over on downs once. By the end of the day,
Manning had thrown for 324 yards, becoming only the second
quarterback this season to top 300 yards of passing against the
Jaguars defense. Edgerrin James rushed for 93 yards. Marvin Harrison
added to the barrage, catching six passes for 137 yards and two
touchdown passes from Manning -- including a beautiful 65-yarder at
the expense of Jaguars cornerback Rashean Mathis. Reggie Wayne added
81 receiving yards of damage.

Jaguars all-time leading rusher
Fred Taylor had just 19 yards on 10 carries. The Jaguars averaged
just 3.2 yards per carry.

The Colts' victory over the
Jacksonville Jaguars enabled them to:

Become just the fourth team in NFL
history to open a season 13-0, joining the 1998 Denver Broncos, '72
Miami Dolphins and '34 Chicago Bears.

Clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC
playoffs. Along with having a first-round bye, the Colts won't have
to leave the RCA Dome to reach Super Bowl XL in Detroit. They'll play
host to divisional and championship games.

The Colts also won their third
straight AFC South title by completing their seasonal sweep with the
Jaguars. The last time the team won three straight divisional titles
was in 1975-77.

Jaguars wins toss, elects to
receive, and Colts elects to defend the South goal.

FIRST QUARTER

The game's opening possession
amounted to one Jaguars first down and were then forced to punt.

Manning as uncomplicated as he
makes it seem, directed an 89-yard drive on Indy's opening possession
with none other than a whole lot of Edgerin James energized with a 13
yard completion to Fletcher, a 24 yarder to Reggie Wayne and 2
completions to Marvin Harrison. One for 12 yards and the other for a
9 yard Manning and Harrison touchdown!

The Jaguars' next possession again
amounted to only one Jaguars first down as again they were forced to punt.

When Peyton Manning tripped on
their second down and tagged as a sack for -9 yards, Colts we
